Sex hormone involvement in the development of experimental virally induced murine salivary gland tumors

Abstract: Mice were given a single inoculation of polyoma virus at birth and then orchideclomised or oopliorectomiscd. Unoperated groups received polyoma virus alone whilst further males received testosterone, and females received oestradiol thrice‐weekly in addition to polyoma virus inoculation. All groups were then observed over the succeeding 370 days for the development of tumors of the submandibular and parotid salivary glands. Polyoma virus inoculation selectively induced salivary gland tumors in 70% of male anima… Show more

“…The further characterization of such animal models should have a potential suitable model of neoplastic diseases of salivary glands in humans [45] . As in cases of breast cancers, virally induced murine salivary gland tumors using polyoma virus have been found to be dependent on sex hormone, androgen in particular for the development of virally induced salivary tumors in experimental animals [102]. Therefore, studies on chromosomal patterns, mapping of proto-oncogenes and combined actions of various proto-oncogenes and viral genomes with poorly understood oncogenec factors would enable us to elucidate the complex role played by these agents in the genesis and progression of salivary gland neoplasms.…”
